Sorry I missed last week's update!

I just realized that I didn't post after last week's visit.  We will have to go on the adage:  no news is good news.  I remember that we cleaned under Mom and Dad's chairs, vacuuming up all the crumbs (which means that they are eating well).  I don't remember much else.  Bill and Morgan went Sunday to play cards.  Bill and Grandpa won.

This Friday, Jane and went and cleaned.  When we got there, the home health nurse was there and her and Mom were batting a balloon back and forth to each other.  She mentioned that she was coming again on Tuesday.  Mom told me that they have finally arranged for her to get a new Jazzy chair, one with a few more perks than the chair she has now, such as being able to lean back and raise her legs.  Awesome!  She should have it in a couple of weeks.

Deborah and I went out on Sunday.  We played a rousing round of hand and foot - first, Mom and I won the first hand, after which Dad and Deborah took the lead by winning the next three hands in a row, then in an amazing comeback - the score is within 200 points and only one hand left to play.  Then....wait for it.....Mom and I won!  We pulled out a victory in the end!  Hooray!

Life is good.

Happy Birthday Jane!

Friday was Jane's birthday and she graciously agreed to go with me to Grandma and Grandpa's on her special day!  We stopped, as usual, on the way to their house, we stopped at Einstein's and bought a bagel for breakfast.  Lisa's sister-in-law (Christian's sister), Trish works at Einstein's and she gave Jane a balloon and a big sugar cookie! 

When we got to Draper and walked in the door, Mom started singing happy birthday to Jane!  It was overall a very good day for Jane.  Grandma and Grandpa gave her a card with some Mickey Mouse crayons, then they all watched Mickey Mouse on demand together.  Of course, Jane had to give each of them a Mickey (for Grandpa) and a Minnie (for Grandma) to rock to sleep while they were watching the show!

I cut Dad's hair for him while we were there.  He tried to get Bill to do it last Sunday (Bill and Morgan went and played cards) but, believe it or not, Bill would not do it for him.

It was a good day!
